Step back in history by staying in the Grade 1 heritage listed Caverswall Castle.
Dating back to 1275, the Castle in set in 21 acres, surrounded by a castle moat and tall trees.
Just 1hr 29 minutes from Central London (Euston Station) on the Avanti West Coast Express train to Stoke on Trent then 20 minutes taxi to the Castle gate - so accessible! If you drive we have onsite parking for 12 cars.
Abundant wildlife can be experienced in the summer months, including deer, badgers, squirrels and a wide variety of bird life.
Wander through the grounds and imagine the years gone by.
Stay in a self-contained castle turret or one of the main Castle bedrooms still exuding the history from the 17th century with wood panelling and 4 poster beds.
Famous former residents include Charles Darwin and the Wedgwood Family.
As you cross the Castle stone bridge spanning the moat, you enter the fortified inner courtyard gardens that can be used for barbecues and picnics overlooking the moat and grounds.
The Castle is secluded yet as noted above only 1.5 hours from Central London on the Avanti West Coast Express train and only a 3 minute walk to the centre square of Caverswall - a quaint village of 900 residents. Caverswall is noted in the Doomsday Book of 1086 comprising of 12 households.
The friendly Red House pub serving excellent English pub food and drinks is a 3 minute walk from the Castle front gate.
Alton Towers is a short 30 minute drive from the Castle and enhances the Castle as a perfect stay for guests with families or for couples seeking a fun get-away.

You can hire your own local chef to design a meal according to your taste and budget in the Castle's guest dining room that can seat up to 30 guests around large oak tables. Please ask us for details.
You can also cook for yourself in the main Castle kitchen or in one of the kitchens in your castle turret.
We have a live-in Co-Host who will check you in and be on hand to tell you all about the castle. We also have an onsite security guard who is on hand to look after you.

10 / 10Outstanding·May 2026
We loved our stayed in this historic property. Some of the rooms were cleaner than others and some areas looked a little run down, for us, this added to the atmosphere but other guests may expect more manicured gardens etc. We were impressed with the quantities of tea, coffee, shower gel etc that were available for our use. The host was very friendly and helpful. Once we had settled in she kept in the background so we really felt that we had the place to ourselves.

The property exceeded expectations! John was super helpful and always answered our questions quickly. And Mandy was so nice and thorough on the house tour and made sure we felt right at home.Cannot recommend this property enough, we’ll definitely be back next year!
6 / 10Average·Apr 2026
The check in was very awkward because we were given the gate code but didn't know it was a secret. The attendant refrigerator had rotting food in it which filled the kitchen with awful stench that disuaded us from using the kitchen. The detached tower we stayed in was supposed to accommodate 4, but the sheet was ony large enough for one. We were invited to tour the main mansion, but with little direction on which places were off limits.
